i hate the 2am alcohol policy and think it's stupid for a town like hollywood where it is supposed to be the party town. However, it is hard to fight against M.A.D.D. (mothers against drunk drivers) because their argument would be fairer than ours. There are enough deaths due to DUI already. LA is condensed and many more people drive than popular cities like NYC or Chicago.
My suggestion, if they were to legalize drinking after 2, would be:
1. increase liquor license fee.
2. increase the price/tax on alcohol sales.
3. increase police enforcement within popular drinking areas by either adding checkpoints or even adding officers who would test drivers for alcohol right when they get off the parking lot.
I think it would be more debatable if the legalization of alcohol after 2 is presented in such way that benefits the state and somehow makes drinkers more cautious of drinking and driving.
